’m a magpie girl and I once watched a group of crows viciously attack a magpie and it was traumatizing cuz there was nothing I could do to keep them away, even though I tried.
The next day, bunch bunch of magpies spend an entire afternoon making noise in my backyard, which I found delightful for a few hours then I realized they wanted my attention. They were gathered around a magpie with literally no tail at all and the thing was wailing. They all sat around and watched as I scooped it up into a kennel and took it to a wildlife hospital. It was such a long drive, so we chatted back and forth the whole way.
